Incredible as a concept and in execution. Sheila Heti reminding us she is a genius. I don’t think this book is for everyone but it’s definitely for the writers and thinkers💫

A kaleidoscope of a book, Sheila Heti never fails to turn my world upside down with her writing. Taking a decade's worth of diary entries and patchworking sentences together in alphabetical order, Heti has crafted something that can change every time you read them over. Through these glimmering entries, we get a raw glimpse into the inner workings of an artist, and the best part is she's just like us. Previous Heti fans will adore this one, but also a fantastic and eye-opening read for fellow writers, and digestible enough for really any reader. All my love always for Heti, truly a revolutionary author.
